Although I am posting this from my work address I'd like to point out that this is not an official Ordnance Survey product, Ordnance Survey have not started making pub guides, and the views in this pub guide are not those held by Ordnance Survey surveyors. This work was done purely on my own time, and is a clear indication I need to get out more :) A while ago two intrepid explorers undertook a mission to survey all of the pubs in Southampton. You can find the results written up here: http://www.pubsinsouthampton.co.uk/. I decided that this would make a good set of data to turn into RDF. This resulted in the semantic webs first (?) ever pub guide (for Southampton, UK). Although the website is far from finished an RDF dump of the pub guide can be downloaded here: http://www.johngoodwin.me.uk/pubs/models/pubs.rdf . This RDF contains lat/long location information for every pub, along with review and address information. The definition of the concept pub is taken from the Building and Places ontology [http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/ontology/BuildingsAndPlaces/v 1.1/BuildingsAndPlaces.owl ] and is linked via a [http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/ontology/SpatialRelations/v0. 2/SpatialRelations.owl spatial relation] "is located in" to the [http://os.rkbexplorer.com/description/osr7000000000037256 Southamtpton entity] from our [http://os.rkbexplorer.com/ Administrative Geography RDF]. I'm going to be finishing this off over the weekend I hope...complete with browsable interface, dereferencable URIs and semantic site maps in a linked open data stylee. But for now I figured the RDF might be useful for any Southampton locals fancying a beer over the weekend. http://www.johngoodwin.me.uk/pubs/models/pubs.rdf John .
